PROTECT THE ANIMALS

The proposed move of the government to enact a new law to stop inhuman treatment with animals in place of existing law viz. Prevention of Cruelty to Animal Act, 1960 is sheerly humane. The penalty of Rs. 50 prescribed under the Act of 1960 for inflicting cruelty against animals is highly ridiculous since even minor traffic violations attract more unsavoury penalties. There should be a blanket ban on animals sacrifice on all occasions across the Country. The vegetarianism should be promoted by way of extensively eulogizing its boons and conversely, the public should be amply acquainted with the banes of the non-vegetarianism. The hapless animals may be saved from the sanguinary appetite of non-vegetarians by imposing some additional unpalatable taxes on the non-vegetarian stuffs. Most of the Indians are religious folks and a point needs to be driven home to each and everybody that violence in any form to the animals is the most conspicuous disservice to the grace of the Almighty.
